game is ok its just community making it like a job. applying to a lobby u need to have 10 years of exp at the age of 9🤣
I'm still enjoying T4 with my buds. Looking forward to doing HM Aegir. Ngl, I would be very surprised if the game is still around in 2-3 years at the current trajectory in NA. Oh well, if it dies; it dies. Move on to the next game. Not really life altering. No shirt off our backs.
It makes completly sense
i think LoA can`t bring new players because of the beast ( community ) it makes by it hands ( cards - gems - 100x titles - roster levels - .. ) and new brands raids so we going to one day it will be impossible to new player to catch the average players and will be dead game at the end
Don't forget 120+ transcendance.
@@mischiefpwns one time I get gate keep because I'm not lv 70 in strong hold 😅
@@benashraf8934 I have 10k hours all titles best card sets I still get gatekept
its kinda a double edged sword though because 1) the gatekeeping is super intense but 2) the reason is that the raids are difficult so even if players are evenly skilled not having cards(diff between los24 and 30 is 4%), demon damage from cards is up to 6.5% now so players with only half that are 3% behind, gems can be a massive dps difference between someone with full 10s(t4 lvl 8) vs someone with 7s (t4 lvl5) then other systems like full armour trans is 20% damage, wep trans is 7%, elixirs is 15-20%. so my point is if nm raids werent still so difficult players wouldnt be trying to min-max their parties as much to clear because lets be honest no one wants to be jailed on a raid for hours when you have a roster of tother raids to do. behemoth this week honestly felt so free though so i might be coping but as more players make it into t4 with ark passive hw raids should become easier but for new players idk man they might be cooked haha
I quit the game, t4 just ramped up time requirement you have to spend on this game and i was not willing to do that. I will log in next week just to transfer my ignite character and collect goodies, i might return in future if they make this game more casual but its major copium atm
I have the same feelings
For me the real problem is that they dont get enough new players on ignite server. The new player could just play together and learn together not joining vet lobbies then. Or new players try to apply to vet lobbies and are to afraid to host there own. Everyone that is still playing since launch was at this point. We made our own lobbies and learner together with the ppl that where at the same level of knowledge and raid tier. And also it does not help that the new players are fast forwarded to the endgame. We vets learned all the mechs that are present in valtan, vykas, clown, brel, guardians and so on. Most new ppl just get skipped to voldis, akkan and thaemine. They need to add some kind of practice mode with achivements where you need to do all the fundamental mechanics on your own for 10-100 times and get a title at the end or something idk
The whole "new ppl can just find other new ppl to play with" is getting old now and its pretty much not an option if it were then the game wouldn't be in this state rn. Whether it us gathering randoms or finding a static in discords, no one wants to find themselves being a fulltime community manager just to be able to do some content, it is insane if you expect ppl to do that, especially those that just have jobs and are able to play 4-5 hrs at max every evening.
I feel like ppl that been playin since release are the ones that scream this shit the hardest while they've never been in the situation of current newcomers.. You mention that release players have been at that point but that is just not true, release players that have kept up were never at that point bcus they progged from endgame state to new endgame state and even then ppl that were behind had barely any chance and usually just fell behind further quitting in the long run due to being isolated from most content.
This game is dire need of casual "middle class" raid/pve content and just different type(s)/categories of content overall. It's kinda strange to me cus I feel like no one ever talks about that.
This game is already a gigantic mountain and the summit is only getting higher with every big content patch. Instead of producing endgame raid after endgame raid, which is literally just a "safe" and rather uncreative option at this point. Yea as far as legion raids goes, they just had to finish that "series", but now they have to start getting creative again and just create different forms of content with different prog systems or atleast rewarding systems for non raid enjoyers (like Chris).
Lost Ark doesn't even feel like an mmo anymore, its just a
lobby/raid simulator. Can't imagine its going much better in KR. This ongoing formula will just kill the game, or atleast it will not draw in a significant amount of new players whatsoever meaning the only way is down (sadly). The concept and idea behind the ignite servers are good, but it hasn't done much to "ignite the servers".
@@bjornschoonhoven1953 So much to process. To make it easy. I agree with everything you say.
I think in the end this game is very niche and hardcore how its designed gatekeeping and all the other bullshit vertrical systems aside. I play this game since release and it still took me 600 pulls to clear TFM. Most raids we had in our current endgame rotations where very hard. Even the normal modes.
What I want to say just catapulting new players into the endgame wont help them since there is so much they need to learn. You could give them alternatives like solo modes but then they still endup beeing gatekept.
And I dont think SG will design something else then raids because thats how they make money and thats what they are good at. What else do you want them to do? Hack and slash? Your better of playing diablo or PoE. Story/Rpg? Go play FF or WoW. PvP? Black desert. In the end this game will stay an raiding heavy action combat game which is heavily monetised. And it will stay that way since thats what works in KR. A financial report showed that they make 90% of there income.from 0,45% whales. And the income of the company was at an all time high at the last report.
Its sad but people that want something else out this game should just move on. They where never the target audiance.
And if you still want to play it as a new player you better find a community, guild or friends which makes everything way easier.
@@rottolov yh throwing newbs on the summit is simply delusional. Might just keep the natural pathway intact and have ppl go through all the progression everyone else once had to go through but then with some nerfs to the honing etc.
I doubt the effectiveness of that, but this way a potential "middle class" could start to exist. That is TL:DR what I think the game needs a healthy, more casual middle class audience playing the game at a different level than the hardcore/vet audience.
If this formula works in KR, and you got the numbers to back it up, I strongly doubt that SG changes its course.
could have been better if ark pass could actually be used at 1640 to actually give us T4, currently we are at pseudo T4, a half way point between T3 and T4
@@wdadwdwdwadw8604 even if, it doesn't help any new players whatsoever. Fresh t4 new player, the vets will just let you drown and with all new players in 1 party diving into the current content, its gonna be way too hard for them to learn and clear anything from the current content line-up.
i was very dissappointed to see them make the game so much more P2W again. Its basically as bad as it was at the start of T3, maybe even worse since now theres this whole ark passive system on top of all the other stuff. I was also very surprised to learn that none of the people i play with care about this. I guess anyone who gives any shits about P2W has long since left the game. I dont want to go back to feeling like a 2nd class citizen in this game, and i also dont want to drop hundreds or thousands of dollars on a game, thats just silly. So ill likely take a break after aegir.
there's no p2w in t4 apart relic books. the game is way better than before. ark passive is f2p.
New guardian is good, you dont need a support, just dont get hit and 4 dps clear is easy even for MM
Yeah lost ark has given up completely to get new players. The ignite servers are made to get players who quit during like clown to come back to the game. The raids are too hard, the progression system is designed to be dog shit so you’ll want to pay to win, and the game is too grindy for the community to be accepting of players trying to learn the raids. Just like you said in the video if you don’t learn the raid week one of release there won’t be any more learning parties and you’ll never get invited. Every raid needs to have a solo mode on release.
This is the exact way how I felt b4 quitting.
After brel, I had to take a break from the game, I was kinda forced to bcus of life events. Not far before that the guild that I was active in pretty much disbanded bcus the majority had quit during the famous brel period that broke alot of ppl. Then, when I decided to return Akkan was released for like 3 weeks and most ppl had it on farm/homework already. This pretty much just instantly isolated me from progression, while my main was jacked and also had 2 alts that were easily on their way, I was still pretty much up to par to many others in the game.
I tried hard joining parties that had not cleared but it was already a hassle finding them in the first place. If you have like 4-5 hrs to spend every evening and you gotta spend 2+ hrs of them finding a proper party where everyone is equal footing, it's just demotivating, especially if you want to do all the other stuff for your daily's (chaos dungs etc.). I kept playing for a couple of weeks since then but I only came as far as a few attempt runs for Akkan G1, eventually I was like fk this shit I am quitting, this is leading to nowhere..
Not to mention some players are starting to incorporate dps results/supp uptime now on their raid runs which will make new players struggle more. And some players would rather play other games where they don't need to be good as long as they know mechanics and patterns and they are welcome to join.
talking about the bible its kinda needed for supports to know their uptime though tbh and the way raids will be in the future especially brel if the support has bad uptime it wont clear so i wouldnt blame the bible its more the raid difficulty itself
Exactly, raids in the future releases will be more difficult than what we have right now. That is why I am planning to just unlock ark passive and play different game. I don't like to be at my full potential all of my runs all the time. This is just a game and games should be relaxing and not stressful.
Bringing in new players is setting the bar too high right now. Start with retaining current players 😅
@@Course6Beaver yh but the remnant players are slowly burning up moving from raid to raid, having to process all the stressful new fights and mechs or are simply done with the game because of what Chris stated in the video: T4 is just more of the same shit. And then yeah some newly added (oversaturated) systems which also happened in T3 frequently so T4 just feels like T3.5. Its literally more of the same shit only the circle your running has gotten bigger (more time consumption).
Meanwhile new players have literally 0 chance to ever get into the game somewhat normally. It's pretty doomed in this state of being, they set the bar high for the players not for themselves🤣
How you got so many t4 cubes.
I am a legitimately new player, played for couple months. Learned all the dungeons myself. I swiped through AGS shop 4000 EUR, then I RMTd for couple hundred and AGS banned me for a month right before the month long hype started before the T4, and then after a month long ban I logged in to discover that they made my gold negative 1.5M. That was the end of my journey in this game.
dont rmt then lol
The problem is….. you got caught!
@@MrDrusso Get fcked bozo. Thats what you deserve. Rmt rat
rip bozo 😂
